If people start an exodus out of Dallas, you can forget about future attempts at contact tracing when hordes flee to the four winds. Double that if one of those five kids becomes symptomatic.At which point I have to figure it's 50-50 whether the governors of the contiguous states declare a health emergency, and shut down their borders with TX, and to hell with Washington's opinion or approval, unless those governors are clinically insane, and politically suicidal.

And reportedly, but unconfirmed officially, hospital workers in Dallas are under gag orders, and Duncan's first-trip blood tests were handled as normal specimens, so one of the first things the CDC did was to essentially seize the hospital's lab, and ship everything to Atlanta, so all those patient lab tests are in limbo (for a 968-bed acute care hospital, which is one helluva lot of tests, for everything from routine blood work to cardiac enzymes of current or post-heart attack patients and cancer biopsies, and everything in between). We're evidently not meant to know any of that.And all this chaos is after barely two days, from one confirmed case.Throw a zero, or two, after that "1", and let me know how you like our odds to "contain" this simply and easily short of full draconian quarantines and near-martial law.And despite the doom and gloom, I really only got truly depressed when a quick search of youTube confirmed that to date, no one has yet done a good "Hitler Rants" parody on this whole thing. You creative folks with a black sense of humor and razor wit, get on that, will you please? We could use something to lighten the well-deserved drumbeat of this impending apocalypse, even for a couple of minutes.If we somehow manage to nip this thing small, or even moderate, I humbly predict that the political aftermath will include tumbrel carts in the equation. But I'm an optimist at heart. If it goes full retard, it really doesn't matter anyways, does it?{Housekeeping note: This and all related posts have been placed under the added "Ebola" label, for the convenience of - several thousand, apparently - new visitors.}And here's the "cleanup crew" who are dealing with Duncan's rabidly infectious spew on the sidewalk outside his family's apartment:

This is a newschopper capture image of the crew cleaning up the Ebola-infected
vomitus outside the apartment where Duncan was staying, where he puked all over
on his way to the ambulance.

Note the total lack of any personal PPE, and
that the crew, equipment, their truck, and any subsequent stops they "cleaned"
from then until now are future Ebola locii, with no notice nor oversight by
Dallas public health authorities on scene. Oh, and they've now spread it hither
and yon about the complex, for neighbors, kids, and pets to play
in.

These are exactly the 70-IQ
motherfuckers who are going to kill us all, every day,
forever.Write that on your hand in case you're tempted to
believe for one fleeting moment "the authorities have a handle on
this".Oh, and note that the two geniuses doing this job have cleverly left their water sippy bottles just at the edge of the spray/splash zone, one above the car, and one at the front bumper."I don't often drink bottled water, but when I do, I like to smear the bottle with Ebola vomit before I suck on it. Stay thirsty, my friends."

Bleach.WRSA had a link to a chart where Clorox stock is...surprise...going higher.Bleach and (more) canned foods are on the list. Bleach may go bad after a while, but I do have some pool shock as well.Now I just need to find some of those handy Tyvek suits.

Thanks for the information on this, too many else seem to be under the impression that nothing bad "can" happen.

My Blog List

About the Blog List

Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow 10 or so actual individuals' handwritten blogs. Looking them over, 8 of the 10 are current serving or former military and 4 of those 8 are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. And 2 are cops.So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior.Color me shocked.

Comments

Comments are appreciated. They require neither prior ID nor screening for content. Anonymous abusive or rude comments will be either mocked mercilessly, or simply deleted into the internet ether, solely at the blog owner's discretion. (That would be me.) If you somehow labor under the misapprehension that free speech applies everywhere, try this experiment: go to your next door neighbor's house, urinate and defecate on his living room floor, and call him a m*****f****** @$$hole, then see whether you receive an award from the ACLU, or an ambulance and police car, who stop momentarily to help collect your teeth. If you don't get this, you're too stupid to be on the Internet, let alone posting comments on my blog. Disagreement is one thing, even ignorance can be understandable, but rude @$$holery will not be tolerated here. I have neither the time nor inclination to imbue what a public K-12 failed to instill in those folks bereft of the ability to reason intelligently or behave like well-adapted human beings in polite society.That's why for you there's a Skid Row.
